True Faith's new pod is with Sid Lowe (Spanish journo) on Rafa. Should be a good listen

11 with some fluky guesses in there

I'd like Slimani but not sure how well he'd fit our system. Can't see us spending £15m+ on a 29 year old either like.

Fucking Middlesbrough

Cheaper than Sigurdsson

Luke Edwards and Craig Hope seem to actually enjoy spreading negative stories about the club.

But honestly man, why is that Justin Barnes person even here? Just fuck off man.

Yep. I'm trying to stay positive for the moment but if this drags on until the end of July I think he'll be gone. There's no way we can start the new PL season with the current squad we've got at the moment.

He knows his stuff too so obviously bugger all is happening. Aye. Even more worrying that all the news he gave was negative and not one positive tweet about who we might be looking at

Cheers Craig Hope

Bah, that's shite.

£40m for Sigurdsson, jesus.

I do think it's quite daft when people seem to brush off these rumours as 'ITK shite'. It's absolutely clear that Rafa will be pissed off at the moment and whilst I can't imagine he'd be anywhere near considering his future, it doesn't bode well for us in the mid to long term.

Hahaha, mugs.

Possibly not the right thread but Abdelhak Nouri has collapsed for Ajax in a pre season friendly this afternoon and there's numerous ambulances and paramedic staff on the scene at the moment treating him.

Villa

Shite. Had me fingers crossed that Spurs would be the 5:30 game on the Saturday for a full day on the drink.

That Leeds shirt looks awfully tight

We should definitely be in for Iheanacho, even at that price.

Dreamy.

Jealous. We should've been in for him.

Cerci was brilliant for a year or two at Torino then got completely frozen out by Simeone at Atleti. Imagine they'd be happy to get rid at a low fee/season long loan.

When you compare it other deals like Michael Keane for up to £31m, then it looks decent bit of business. Yeah, totally agree. Just seems mental that £50m-£75m fees now just seem to be the norm but 5 or 6 years ago that would've got you one of the worlds best.
